You can hate font plagiarizing AI without hating cancer-curing AI. The biggest lie is that those are somehow the same thing. No, your slop-making LLM isn't going to stumble upon a cancer cure. Stop wasting trillions on the slop machine and actually invest in bespoke, targeted models tuned by competent researchers.

    Smartphones are supposed to be general purpose, not catering to a specific niche like audiophiles. Wireless and/or dongle works for most people.

    It's kinda like saying you wouldn't need to buy a camera if only smartphones had interchangeable lenses.

    I think the technology was never really the problem, it's the monetization. There should've been strict data protections from the start and ads should've been banned a century ago. Then companies couldn't get users addicted on 'free' products making money by secretly selling their data. It would've meant having to provide a real service to users they'd be willing to pay for. This would disincentivize enshittification because a worse product would actually result in customers leaving for competitors.
